What
is your definition of Integrated Pest Management (IPM)? |
|
We try to treat
the root cause, not the symptom. In the case of weeds we focus on
correcting soil chemistry, for insects we treat grubs with nematodes.
We don't "integrate" synthetic herbicides or pesticides. |
|
Is pest management performed on a specific schedule? |
|
Our pest management
is based on timing and environmental conditions. We treat insect/weed
issues when they are present. We are proactive in working to correct
soil conditions. |
